Detailed Solution

Liquids like ether and acetone are kept in cool places because ether and acetone are volatile liquids with low boiling point.
The temperature at which a substance gets converted to gaseous form from its solid form is known as its boiling point. Liquids like ether and acetone are kept in cool places because ether and acetone have low boiling points hence, they evaporate fast. If they are not kept at a lower temperature, their rate of evaporation becomes faster.
